Tried, it along w/ the anytext file plugin, it is awesome... low
system resources and "QUICK" discovery of files makes it the "BEST"
search tool on the market... I've recently tried the MS desktopsearch,
which works, is fairly fast and can also search a networkshare,
however it caused my start button to flicker while it indexes.  and
while it does index it causes the running system to bog down.

Yahoo's x1 search tool is also nice, but again... a pig.  finding
files takes a long time, and there is no easy way to turn of the
preview.

Copernic's desktopsearch tool is fast at indexing (if you allow it to
index overnight, and allow it to consume full cpu usage).  if you are
indexing certain filesizes that are over 40mb then it will definatly
just crap out.
